to have ‘due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism’
in the exercise of their functions.</p><p>Supporting statutory guidance sets out expectations
for relevant public sectors including that organisations they work with are not engaged
in extremist activity or espouse extremist views; public resources are not utilised
by extremists; extremist views are appropriately challenged; and where appropriate,
extremists are lawfully prosecuted, disrupted and deterred. Sector specific advice,
training and support continues to be provided by the Home Office and other departments
to support proportionate Prevent delivery.</p>
